Dear Edna, Fern,Heather, Helena and James.
I was sad to hear of Jim’s passing. I will always remember our days in Port McNeil hunting, fishing, camping, boating and swimming in the world’s coldest water most but most of all a super boyhood friend.

Our hearts are full with the love we have shared with Edna and Jim over many years. One of our very fond family memories is of having such a fun evening playing darts together ….Jillian’s first time ever. Jim took such an interest in helping us learn and celebrating the great and crazy throws. You have been a great guy, Jim.
